In the early 1960βs, Filippo Centrella and his wife Lina moved to northern New Jersey from Avellino, a small town just outside of Naples, Italy. The immigrant Italians settled in Union City where they raised four children and by 1968 took over an existing pizzeria named Soleβs. The Centrellas sold the business a few years later and opened Presto Pizza in West New York. After leaving Presto to his brother Vincienzo in 1977, Filippo opened a pizzeria on Washington Street in Hoboken, naming it after himself. He and Lina, along with their children and a young pizza man named Carlos Solorzano helped make Filippoβs pizzeria a success.
Eventually Carlos and Filippoβs eldest daughter Franca started dating and married in 1979. Shortly after the Solorzanoβs two sons were born, they were able to start a business of their own. The young couple opened Filippoβs II in 1985 on the same street in Hoboken as the original, paying homage to the man who had started it all. Filippoβs III and IV opened in the years following, all owned and operated by Carlos while Franca stayed at home with the boys. By 1995, the Solorzanoβs had sold all three pizzerias, and decided to concentrate their efforts on one single business. Carlos, Franca, and their sons Carlos Jr. and Philip opened Filippoβs Pizza CafΓ© at the corner of First Street and Willow Avenue in Hoboken. While on vacation in Florida in April of 2003, Philip Solorzano fell in love with the area and the people of Sarasota, while at the same time noticing an excellent opportunity to relocate the family business and change their lifestyle. Six months later, the family moved to the Suncoast and Solorzanoβs Restaurant was opened in March of 2004.
